Sports Cards

From casual collector to confident behind the counter.

A short course for becoming a real collector and a trusted card-shop Key Holder. Sports cards are the core. Lesson 8 covers the Pokémon and One Piece the shop also sells. Each lesson teaches one skill, then makes you practice it with a quiz that gives instant feedback. Take them in order, and come back to a lesson's quiz a day or two later, when recalling it takes effort.
